For Those of You

An update today on Holland....... Although she has fractured four vertebrae, none are displaced. They feel that the numbness was caused by a spinal cord "shock" and her feelings are slowly returning. There has been no swelling overnight which is wonderful news as it appears that she will fully recover use of her arms and legs. The recovery road will be long, but with the good news received today it will make life much easier on all of them.

I know all of your prayers were heard and welcomed. Thank you so very much. Please continue to keep them in your prayers and I will update you if anything changes.

.....who are prayer warriors, your help is needed for a friend and a neighbor to our son. While riding her horse last evening, Holland was pitched a la Christopher Reeves style and landed on her head. She was wearing her helmet, but has fractured four vertebrae in her neck. There is numbness in her body, but she is feeling pain stimulation so we are holding out hope that she will not be paralyzed. We will hopefully know more later today.

To make matters worse, Holland is also the primary caregiver to her husband who is extremely ill with lung and brain cancer. My heart is breaking for both of them and any prayers would be greatly appreciated by them.

I used to work with a gal who was always asking "Tony", as we called him (disrespectful, you think?) to help us find something. I brought her a small one home from my trip to Brazil. I hope he helps find your ring and my stone!

Just found your blog and I'm so glad I did. We have a lot in common it seems; for one thing we are both nurses and near the same age. That's two things, sorry. Hope you don't mind but I've added myself as a follower. Love the quilting and since I've recently retired I'm trying to get into quilting as my primary hobby. Talk to you later.Sharon

My prayers go out to you all. What a most difficult situation to be in. I pray for a peace that passes all understanding, a speedy and full recovery and a sense of God's loving arms holding you all tight.
